Бывшая панамская региональная авиакомпания
Defunct Panamanian regional airline
Aeroperlas (акроним от Aerolíneas Islas de Las Perlas) была региональной авиакомпанией, базировавшейся в городе Панама, Панама. Она являлась третьей по величине авиакомпанией в стране, уступая только Air Panama и Copa Airlines. Со своего узлового пункта в международных аэропортах Маркос А. Гелаберта и Энрике Малека Aeroperlas выполняла более 50 ежедневных регулярных рейсов по 15 внутренним направлениям, а также чартерные и курьерские рейсы. Авиакомпания осуществляла перевозки в рамках региональной системы авиакомпаний Grupo TACA. 29 февраля 2012 года Aeroperlas прекратила деятельность в связи с финансовыми трудностями.
Aeroperlas (acronym for Aerolíneas Islas de Las Perlas) was a regional airline based in Panama City, Panama. It was the third largest airline in the country, surpassed only by Air Panama and Copa Airlines. From its hub at Marcos A. Gelabert and Enrique Malek International airports, Aeroperlas operated over 50 daily scheduled flights to 15 domestic destinations, as well as charter and courier flights. It operated services as part of the Grupo TACA regional airlines system. On February 29, 2012, Aeroperlas ceased operations due to financial problems.
Годы открытия и расширения
Авиакомпания была основана в июне 1970 года как Aerolíneas Islas de las Perlas и начала операционную деятельность вскоре после этого. С 1976 по 1987 год она являлась государственной компанией, после чего была продана частным владельцам. В конце 1990-х годов Aeroperlas принадлежала APAIR (80%) и материнской компании American Eagle Airlines, AMR Corporation (20%). По словам Дэна Гартона, AMR приобрела долю в Aeroperlas, чтобы найти способ оптимизировать парк самолетов American Eagle и передать свой флот Shorts 360 другой авиакомпании. Не было известно, оставалась ли AMR акционером авиакомпании в 2009 году. 6 марта 2012 года Aeroperlas выполнила свой последний официальный регулярный рейс из аэропорта Токумен в Бокас-дель-Торо, завершив тем самым 41 год работы.
The airline was founded in June 1970 as Aerolíneas Islas de las Perlas and started operations shortly after. It was a state owned company from 1976 until 1987, when it was sold to private owners. During the late 1990s, Aeroperlas was owned by APAIR (80%) and the parent company of American Eagle Airlines, AMR Corporation (20%). According to Dan Garton, AMR took a stake in Aeroperlas to find a way of streamlining American Eagle's fleet and placing their Shorts 360 fleet with another airline. It was unclear if AMR remained as a shareholder in the airline in 2009. On March 6, 2012, Aeroperlas made its last official scheduled flight from Tocumen Airport to Bocas del Toro, thus ending 41 years of operation.
Аварии и инциденты
В первые годы работы Aeroperlas имела неудовлетворительные показатели безопасности (как подробно описано ниже). Однако, начиная с коммерческого сотрудничества с TACA Airlines в 2004 году, были улучшены операционные процедуры и модернизированы технологии безопасности на воздушных судах. В конце 2005 года в Aeroperlas была назначена новая команда управления, ориентированная на безопасность, что позволило улучшить показатели безопасности. В 2006 году, согласно официальным данным, опубликованным Панамским органом гражданской авиации, Aeroperlas зафиксировала лишь один незначительный инцидент – такой же показатель безопасности, как и у панамской Copa Airlines за тот же период. По состоянию на 15 мая 2007 года Aeroperlas демонстрировала безупречную историю безопасности и начала активно использовать это в коммерческой деятельности (например, в кампании "Fly Safely, Fly Aeroperlas").
During its early years of operation, Aeroperlas had a less than admirable safety record (as detailed below). However, since its commercial affiliation with TACA Airlines in 2004, operational procedures were improved and safety technology on aircraft were upgraded. The installation of a new, safety focused management team in late 2005 improved Aeroperlas' safety record. In 2006, according to official numbers published by the Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority, Aeroperlas suffered just one minor incident the same safety record as Panama's Copa Airlines achieved in the same period. As of May 15, 2007, Aeroperlas had a clean safety record and started pointing to its safety strength in commercial activities (e. g.; its "Fly Safely, Fly Aeroperlas" campaign). + Aeroperlas reported incidentsDateAircraftLocationDescriptionCasualtiesFatalSeriousMinorUninjuredGroundApril 18, 1990De Havilland Canada DHC 6 Twin Otternear Contadora Island, PanamaThe No. 2 engine of a De Havilland Canada DHC 6 Twin Otter (registered N187SA) failed shortly after taking off from Contadora Airport.

Похищения
5 июля 1990 года самолет De Havilland Canada DHC 6 Twin Otter был захвачен. Захватчик(и) потребовали доставить их в Колумбию. Угон продолжался менее суток. В тот же день, во время полета из Колона, самолет был похищен Революционными вооруженными силами Колумбии и уничтожен в августе 1990 года.
On July 5, 1990, De Havilland Canada DHC 6 Twin Otter was hijacked. The hijacker(s) demanded to be taken to Colombia. The hijacking lasted less than one day. The Twin Otter was stolen by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia on the same day on a flight from Colón and was destroyed in August 1990.
